Dead By Daylight: Halloween DLC Releasing NOW!!

We caught up with the devs of Dead by Daylight at New York Comic Con 2016 where they revealed the ins and outs of their HALLOWEEN DLC characters and level for my readers at Dread Central! Pit a small army (well if 4 can be seen as an army) of Laurie Strodes against Michael Myers on the streets of Haddonfield, complete with meticulously pruned shrubbery and a cop car out front with lights blazing red against rows of white fence. As Michael approaches, the familiar score from John Carpenter adds to the menace. One survivor will be the object of Michael's obsession when stalking is a supernatural power...

While other killers in game have utilized powers like invisibility and teleportation, it's Michael's unhealthy obsession that drives him in this video game. Michael stares at potential victims to power his abilities. The longer he sees you...the more he sees of you...the closer he gets, the more powerful he becomes. For die hard players, the power up (Evil Within) rises three levels with a terror radius of 6 meters for level 1, 16 for level 2 and 32 for level 3. As Michael rises in levels, the stinger music will become more intense. Rt click to charge that evil as you stalk your victim and Michael will become a far more efficient killer! If the killer and obsession are within 72 meters of each other, they will see each other, expressing their special connection touched upon in films.

As I watched a beta stream from JenDenise on Twitch, I noted new generators throughout the map, some only allowing 1 or 2 players to work on them. Beyond that, the map dynamics are very similar to the standard play with pallets and obstacles and hooks around the map and in a basement (or as far as I could see in the beta, which was different from the full release). Of course, players will be able to take Michael Myers and Laurie Strode into other maps where Michael's evil stare down will be even more effective as he climbs to higher points to look out over his potential victims.

We've watched the Nurse strangle a victim to death, up close and personal, and the Hillbilly viciously chainsaw a person to death while on the floor, so it was inevitable that Michael would get his own, unforgettable Momento Mori finishing move! Michael lifts his victim up off the floor and stabs them while staring into their eyes. Amazing. Check out the screen shots below and go see if you can out juke Michael Myers today!
